Blurry Line Prizm Polarized

Hello,

Not sure how to explain this but i'll do my best...Just received a pair of Eye Jacket Redux Water Vapor tungsten prizm polarized lens and I seem to be having some sort of vision issue with them.

When looking thru the lens right smack in the middle of both eyes there appear to be a blurry line, that when looking at something and moving your head up or down, the items in the middle of that line has a "jumpy" effect....If i close my right eye and concentrate on the left lens and move my head to the right, forcing my left eye to look thru more of the left side of the lens the issue goes away. Same thing happens to the right eye when I move to the left and close my left eye. After a while of just looking thru the lens, i feel off and can feel the eyes and brain compensating to try and fix the issue.

Is this an issue with lens? A by-product of prizm polarized? Any idea?

If you see a blurry line that looks like a wave or just a glitch line across your eyes, that could be a defect - something very frequently observed on cheap TAC lenses. However such issues on OEM lenses are rare. If you've just received them, you could do a warranty claim or a return.

But you've also mentioned the feeling of disorientation when looking through one lens - If there's no visual 'waviness' or anything then it could probably be due to the taper correction built into Oakley lenses, where the center if the lenses are less curved than the edges.
